Clerical Members of the Cor- poration. [New Haven Correspondence N. Y. Evening Post,] The death of the Rev. Dr. George Bushnell of New Haven, at the ad- vanced age of seventy nine years, creates among the life members of the Yale Corporation a vacancy to be filled pre- sumptively at the next meeting. Dr. Bushnell was graduated in the Class of Forty-Two, four years later was or- dained, after study in the Yale Divinity School, and served as pastor of Con- gregational churches at . Worcester, Mass., Waterbury, Conn., and Beloit, Wis. He lived in this city from 1884 up to his death. He was a brother of Horace Bushnell of Hartford, famous as a preacher and as a pioneer in what has since been called the “new theol- ogy” of Congregationalism. Dr. Bush- nell was elected to the Yale Corporation ten years ago, when almost seventy years old, and his place will be filled by vote of the life members only, all Connecticut clergymen, the elective six- year members having no vote. The clerical life members are now nine in number. They are, with dates of elec- tion to the Corporation, the Rev. Joseph H. Twichell of Hartford, 1874, the oldest member of the Corporation in tenure of office; the Rev. Joseph W. Backus of Farmington, 1875; the Rev. Charles Ray Palmer of New Haven, 1880; the Rev. Joseph Anderson, of Waterbury, 1884; the Rev. James W. Cooper of New Britain, 1885; the Rev. Burdett Hart of New Haven, 1885; the Rev. Theodore T. Munger of New Ha- ven, 1887; the Rev. George L. Walker of Hartford, 1887, and the Rev. Edwin P.. Parker, Hartford, 1895. The list is of interest as showing to those even moderately familiar with the names the large admixture of clergymen of the liberal Congregational type—a fact which bears upon the rossibility here- after of electing to the Presidency of Yale a man who is not a clergyman. For the same reason the choice of Dr. Bushnell’s successor will be watched with considerable interest. <td a _t Fence’ Orator Elected. Jesse Dwight Dana of Brookline, Mass., was unanimously chosen Sopho- more Fence Orator, Monday evening. Mr. Dana was the Fence Orator in Freshman year. A lively Fence rush followed the meeting and threats are heard of the Faculty’s abolition of the Sophomore Fence. MILITARY DRILLS AT YALE, r They are Continued in Captain Mur- ray’s Absence—Increased Enlistments. During the absence of Captain Arthur Murray, it has been decided to con- tinue the weekly drill of the Senior companies under the direction of the officers appointed by him. In additon to the regular members of the Academic Company, all Seniors and men from other classes of the Academical De- partment who are interested in drilling have been requested to report at the armory every Monday afternoon at 4.30. If enough men report it is proposed to form a battalion. The call for new men was made in response to the increased interest from the present national crisis. About one hundred men reported at the armory last Monday. The following is the list of officers elected for the Senior Aca- demic Company: Captain, C. C.° Jones: First ioieuten- ant, W. M.

While the Sophomores at the Fence on Saturday night were singing Amer- ica, a few Seniors began marching up and down in front of Durfee. An un- usual crowd was out for the first Spring-like night of the year, and nearly all had been singing national hymns. The few marchers attracted more of their own class, and of other classes to their ranks, and before any- one could have told why they were do- ing it, the whole company was moving. Aiter a call at White and Pierson the column had increased to from four to. five hundred students. The first stop was on the steps of Osborn, where national hymns were sung. Then the column, commanded by Captain-General Roger Winthrop, ’608, with J. I. Lockman, °08, as standard bearer, marched to the Green, where an immense circle was formed around the ae R. J.

President Dwight was cheered in passing and the column moved on to Trumbull street. A speech was wanted from Professor Phelps, but he was away.. A similar demand was served on Professor Hadley, but he had a dinner party and prayed to be ex- Like a Barber’s Pole Or the Easter edition of a One look that yellow journal. can make himself way by exercising his free- dom of choice in colored -Shirtings — offered at swell counters.
